Been MIA for about a year, because life. Wrote something after a long time.
On Safdar Hashmi Marg
v1:
Evening fog throttles the naked bulbs
lining safdar hashmi marg
beside the shuttered state house
a lonesome bus parked for the night
and a thin figure
wrapped around a statue
wet spots where eyes should be
bony noose constricts
wet urgent kisses
almost drowned by passing traffic
The statue quivers
stifled sobs giving life
notices me
a voyeur waiting
for the end of the show
Original:
Cold evening fog dims the naked bulbs lining the street
outside the shuttered state house
a lonesome bus parked for the night
next to it a thin figure
coiled around a statue
wet spots where eyes should be
bony noose tightening
wet urgent kisses almost drowned by passing traffic
The statue quivers
stifled sobs giving life
senses me
a voyeur waiting
for the end of the show
